Mendel's Principle of Independent Assortment: During gamete formation, the way one pair of genes (governing one trait) segregates is not affected by (is independent of) the pattern of segregation of other genes; subsequent fertilization is random.
F1: Round, Yellow: RrYy
Each gamete gets a gene for each trait:
R or r Y or y
RY Ry rY ry
R = ½, r = ½
Y = ½, y = ½
So, if R’s and Y’s are inherited independently, THEN each combination should occur ¼ of time.
IF the genes for these traits are allocated to gametes independently of one another, then each F1 parent should produce four types of gametes, in equal frequencies

1) Hereditary information is unitary and ‘particulate’, not blending
2) First Principle – SEGREGATION: During gamete formation, the two particles governing a trait separate and go into different gametes; subsequent fertilization is random.
3) Second Principle – INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT: The way genes for one trait separate and go into gametes does not affect the way other genes for other traits separate and go into gametes; so all gene combinations in gametes occur as probability dictates. Subsequent fertilization is random.

As you can see, IA produces lots of variation, because of the multiplicative effect of combining genes from different loci together in gametes, and then combining them together during fertilization… we’ll look at this again; especially with respect to Darwin’s 3rd dilemma.

And because all environments on earth change, sex has been adaptive for all organisms. Even those that reproduce primarily by asexual means will reproduce sexually when the environment changes. This is an adaptive strategy – it produces lots of variation.
